Climate change could trigger a surge in domestic violence against women, a concerning new study has revealed.

Researchers from University College London (UCL) analysed how extreme weather events in 156 countries were linked to rates of intimate partner violence (IPV).

They found that, in the two years following a storm, landslide, or flood, there was a rise in physical abuse and sexual violence.

This was particularly the case in countries with a lower GDP.
